Human goals and motivations are complex. Some are driven by our genes, such as the desire for sex, food, and shelter. >~ [[Jeff Hawkins]] >To endow a machine with goals and motivations requires that we design specific mechanisms for goals and motivations and then embed them into the embodiment of the machine. **The goals could be fixed**, like our genetically determined desire to eat, **or they could be learned**, like our societally determined goals for how to live a good life. >~ [[Jeff Hawkins]] I suppose the only reliable strategies to implement [[Personal growth/Goal|goal]]s in machines yet are based on [[Software 2.0|Software 1.0]], we don't have a way to give a general purpose direction for the machine to aim at, it would rely on narrow rules. The closest we have is [[Reinforcement Learning]], where the goal is learned through hard-coded reward function, so in the end isn't it fixed? # External links
